4 Tate Of The Oid Domini0n.-A
native of Frostburg, resident in Pitts
burg, is well known as a dealer in old
iron. In the course of his travels he
has drifted into Virginia, where, it
appears, he has had quite an adven-
ture. He tells a graphic story in the
following letter:
WINCHEsrER Va, March ~, 1857.
Mr.. JOIN J. heller, Dcur .Sii'-I arrived IA
this city of war fame two weeks ago last
saturday. ] have looked around the place
| and am much pleased with the location.
On Tuesday morning | went to work. as
| supposed, at my legitimate business, but was
| arrested very early for buying iron without
license. | was compelled To give bond in the
sum of two hundred dollars. OF course,
found myself among entire strangers, and
have not met the first person yet ever knew
However, the f. + vs. came to my rescue :;
filled my bond and did various other kind
acts.
This morning my case came before the
Grand jury; was heard, and resulted in no
bill being found. This case caused great ex-

citizens took great interest in tho matter.
Yours truly, THOMAS ii Frost.
